Back in the '60s and '70s, my dad was a deputy sheriff and a member of the SWAT team. In 1974, he was shot in the face with a 12 gauge shotgun (luckily from fairly long range) during a raid. My dad returned fire with his service revolver and took down his assailant. When it was all said and done, the guy survived (currently serving a life sentence), and my dad lost an eye and went on to law school after recovery. But he kept his service revolver with him over the next 40 years. Today, he gave it to me as a Christmas gift. His only condition was that I keep it in the family and hand it down to my son one day if I have one.

Pretty cool to have something with such a story behind it and be a part of passing something down through the generations.

Rolled over the 40,000-mile mark with my old '97 Cavalier on the ride over to San Antonio from Houston this evening. I'm quite certain I have put more miles on it over the 6-months I have owned the car (it had around 31,500-miles on it when I bought it) than my Aunt did over the previous decade.....
